His older brother, Norifusa ICHIJO, was in Tosa Province, and when Norifusa's son Masafusa ICHIJO died an unnatural death in the Fukuhara District in Settsu Province, Fuyuyoshi became the adoptive heir to Norifusa to head the Ichijo family. In 1477, he returned to Kyoto with his father, Kaneyoshi. In 1488, he became Kanpaku Naidaijin (Chief advisor to the Emperor and Minister of the Interior). In 1493, he was appointed Dajo Daijin (Grand Minister). In the same year, he resigned his position as Kanpaku. He died on May 1, 1514 (by the old calendar). He was 51 years old. He is buried at Tofuku-ji Temple in the Higashiyama District of Kyoto City.
